| 81' | Keith Woods has been arguing blue that the England try wasn't grounded with the English pundits, however with the footage slowed down and magnified his verdict is: "yes it was". But along with Guscott and Davis the general feeling is that Ireland won on the back of a fantastic defence and a precision that allowed them to score three times from only three clear opportunities. England probably did put in a better performance but, yet again, too much effort did not lead to gains or breaks. Ireland are on for the triple crown and England remain their normal, frustrating selves. That's it from me, Jamie Allaway, we have a break next week but join us on Scrum.com in a fortnight for round 4 of the 6 Nations. |

England No. 8 Billy Vunipola is set to sign a two-year deal with French Top 14 side Montpellier which will likely bring an end to his 11 year international career, sources have told ESPN.
England scrum-half Danny Care will assess his international future over the coming days but has not yet called time on his Test career.
The Six Nations title finished up in Dublin where most predicted it would, but the thrilling journey it took to get there shows rugby is set for one hell of a ride before the 2027 World Cup.
Steve Borthwick said England have taken a step forward in this Six Nations and the weight of the shirt is getting a little lighter on the players after they finished their campaign with a narrow 33-31 defeat to France in Lyon.
